Who gaurded the apples of hesperides?

The Apples of the Hesperides were guarded by a dragon named Ladon. This dragon was a fearsome creature that watched over the golden Apples, which were a gift from Gaia to Hera. Additionally, the Hesperides, who were nymphs, also helped protect the orchard where the Apples grew. The Apples were famously sought after by Hercules during his Twelve Labors.
